Israel has U.S. citizens trapped within its borders, including a mother of 3 who is doing everything she can to keep her young children safe as the Hamas attacks continue.

Daniella joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" from Jerusalem, where she's been forced to stay put -- with her 9-year-old, 6-year-old, and 2-year-old.

She says she's one thousands of Americans who went to Israel to celebrate the Jewish holiday, Simchat Torah, but now airlines have canceled all flights out of the area as Hamas missiles continue to fly through the sky above them.

Daniella says her family is really on their own in Israel -- the U.S. Embassy is currently closed, and she's now frantically searching for other ways to get out of the country that don't involve taking a plane.

She also says she's repeatedly had to take her children into bomb shelters amid the attacks ... adding she's been struggling to explain to the little ones why their world has been turned upside down.

As videos continue to come out showing the terror in the middle east, another has surfaced highlighting the innocent people who were killed ... living and enjoying their lives before evil swept in.

Young music festivalgoer Shani Louk danced with a big smile on her face around friends near the Gaza Strip over the weekend without a care in the world. Of course, Shani had no idea only minutes later terrorists would attack, kill, and kidnap hundreds at the festival.

Louk was tragically taken by Hamas terrorists and murdered -- her naked body was then paraded through the streets in the back of a pickup truck, displaying her multiple broken bones as onlookers spat on her dead body.

Her mother, Ricarda, has spoken out online after Louk's horrifying death made the rounds online ... pleading for anyone with info to come forward -- adding she's already seen the brutal video of her daughter.

Ricarda says her daughter -- who is German but grew up in Israel -- went to the festival with a group of tourists.

Ha aparecido un nuevo video en el que se muestra a personas asesinadas viviendo y disfrutando de su vida antes de que el mal se adueñara de ella.

La joven Shani Louk— que asistía a un festival de música— bailaba con una gran sonrisa junto a sus amigos cerca de la Franja de Gaza durante el fin de semana sin preocuparse por nada. Por supuesto, Shani no tenía ni idea de que solo unos minutos después los terroristas atacarían, matarían y secuestrarían a cientos de personas en el festival.

Louk fue trágicamente secuestrada por terroristas de Hamás y asesinada: su cuerpo desnudo fue paseado por las calles en la parte trasera de una camioneta, mostrando sus múltiples huesos rotos mientras los espectadores escupían sobre su cadáver.

Su madre, Ricarda, ha hablado en línea después de la horrible muerte de Louk, suplicando a cualquier persona con información para seguir adelante con la investigación, añadiendo que ya ha visto el video brutal de su hija.

Ricarda dice que su hija es alemana, pero creció en Israel y fue al festival con un grupo de turistas.

Las estrellas más importantes de Hollywood han mostrado su apoyo a Israel en el actual conflicto de Oriente Medio, pero casi ninguna ha respaldado a Palestina, al menos públicamente.

Durante todo el fin de semana se han sucedido los homenajes en las redes sociales, hablando del violento enfrentamiento y denunciando el ataque terrorista de Hamás contra Israel. Algunas de las celebridades que han expresado su solidaridad con Israel incluyen Gal Gadot, Madonna, Ashley Tisdale, Mark Hamill, Amy Schumer, Natalie Portman, Kris Jenner, Jamie Lee Curtis y más.

Mientras que muchas de estas personas famosas están publicando simples mensajes de "Estamos con Israel", otros están ofreciendo una visión un poco más matizada, diciendo que es razonable estar en desacuerdo con el trato de Israel a los palestinos y repudiar la violencia desquiciada contra los ciudadanos israelíes.

Ese es un sentimiento que ha sido ampliamente adoptado por la gente en los últimos tiempos y hemos estado viendo que se refleja en las calles de todo EE.UU. con muchos estadounidenses ondeando banderas palestinas y gritando "Palestina libre". Sin embargo, en lo que respecta a Hollywood, no son muchos los que adoptan una postura tan firme al respecto, a excepción de unos pocos elegidos como Mia Khalifa, etc.

Hay dos personas en concreto de las que muchos famosos esperan noticias y son Gigi y Bella Hadid, que han permanecido en silencio a pesar de que han apoyado abiertamente a Palestina a lo largo de los años y simpatizan con su causa.

Es interesante... el hecho de que no han hablado parece haber erizado las plumas en Hollywood, con la actriz Sara Foster aparentemente llamando la atención pero sin dar nombres.

Ella escribe: "Ver a influencers palestinos aquí negarse a denunciar a Hamás, negarse a hablar en contra del tratamiento bárbaro de los niños, negarse a esperar la paz, todo mientras viven en la comodidad de los EE.UU. con cero intención de estar alguna vez en Palestina porque nunca podrían ser abiertamente homosexuales o publicar abiertamente sus fotos en bikini no es, por desgracia, chocante. Es fácil ser franco desde la comodidad de tu cálida cama democrática." Suena bastante relacionado con Hadid.

Curiosamente, algunos han especulado que la relación con Hadid puede ser la razón por la que Kylie Jenner publicó y luego borró su Instagram "Apoya a Israel" este fin de semana.

Claramente, este es un tema divisivo a la vez que delicado. Casi todas las figuras públicas están enviando sus pensamientos y oraciones a las personas inocentes que están siendo empujadas a esta pesadilla.

La fragilidad de la vida y la muerte en tiempos de guerra se vio reflejada en televisión cuando Clarissa Ward, de CNN, evitó por poco los cohetes de Hamás que volaron sobre su cabeza.

Clarissa y su equipo se encuentran cerca de un paso fronterizo entre Israel y Gaza, y mientras informaban el lunes sobre un reciente ataque de Hamás tuvieron que zambullirse en una zanja para evitar la artillería.

Se puede ver y oír cómo los proyectiles silban sobre ellos y explotan peligrosamente cerca.

Siguieron grabando durante el ataque y finalmente acabaron en directo en la CNN, describiendo el "aluvión masivo de cohetes" dirigidos contra su posición.

Una vez que el bombardeo se detuvo, Clarissa salió de la zanja y mostró el lugar donde Hamás recientemente había disparado contra civiles y tomando rehenes para llevarlos de vuelta a través de la frontera con Gaza.

Hollywood's biggest stars have come out in support of Israel amid their ongoing conflict in the Middle East -- but there are hardly any backing Palestine ... at least not publicly.

The A-list crowd has been pouring out with social media tributes all weekend -- speaking on the violent clash ... and denouncing the terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas. Some of those celebs who've voiced their solidarity with Israel include Gal Gadot, Madonna, Ashley Tisdale, Scooter Braun, Mark Hamill, Amy Schumer, Natalie Portman, Kris Jenner, Jamie Lee Curtis and more.

While a lot of these famous folks are posting simple "We Stand With Israel" messages -- others are offering a bit more of a nuanced take ... saying it's reasonable to both disagree with Israel's treatment of Palestinians AND disavow the unhinged violence on Israeli citizens.

That's a sentiment that's been widely embraced by people of late ... and we've been seeing that reflected in streets all over the U.S. -- with many Americans waving Palestinian flags and screaming "Free Palestine." As far as Hollywood's concerned though ... not very many are taking that firm of a stance on the issue -- save for a select few like Mia Khalifa, etc.

There's 2 people, specifically, a lot of celebs are waiting to hear from ... and that would be Gigi and Bella Hadid, both of whom have remained silent -- this despite the fact they've been very vocal supporters of Palestine over the years, and sympathetic to their cause.

It's interesting ... the fact they haven't spoken up seems to have ruffled feathers in H'wood, with actress Sara Foster apparently calling them out -- but without naming names.

She writes, "Watching Palestinian influencers on here refuse to denounce hamas, refuse to speak out against the barbaric treatment of children, refuse to hope for peace, all while living in the comfort of the US with zero intention of ever being in Palestine because they could never be openly gay or openly post their bikini pics is sadly not shocking. It's easy to be outspoken from the comfort of your warm democratic bed." Sure sounds Hadid-related.

Interestingly enough, some have speculated the Hadid connection may be why Kylie Jenner posted but then deleted her "Support Israel" Instagram this weekend. She's pals with them.

In any case, it's clearly a divisive issue ... but just about every public figure is sending their thoughts and prayers to the innocent people being thrust into the middle of this nightmare.

The life-and-death nature of reporting from the frontlines in Israel is playing out on TV ... as CNN's Clarissa Ward narrowly avoids Hamas rockets flying overhead.

Clarissa and her crew are right near a border crossing between Israel and Gaza, and as they were reporting Monday on a recent Hamas attack, they had to dive into a ditch to avoid the incoming artillery.

You can see and hear the shells whistle overhead and explode dangerously close to them.

They kept recording right through the strike, and eventually ended up live on CNN, describing the "massive barrage of rockets" aimed at their position.

Once the shelling stopped, she got out of the ditch and showed the roadway where Hamas had recently driven through ... firing on civilians, and then taking hostages and driving them back across the border into Gaza.

The so-called "QAnon Shaman" remains steadfast in his support of Donald Trump ... despite doing hard time in federal prison for his part in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Jacob Chansley, easily the most recognizable Capitol rioter, says he's still on Team Trump ... and he's not blaming the former president for the insurrection, or the prison sentences he and others received.

In his first interview since being released early from prison, Chansley told Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan the riot wasn't Trump's fault in the slightest ... he says Trump should NOT be "blamed for the actions of free citizens."

The way Chansley sees it ... the rioters made their own individual decisions to storm the Capitol and Trump had no responsibility to bail them out or pardon them before leaving office.

The one thing Trump could've done, Chansley says, was start a legal defense fund for the Capitol rioters.

As we reported ... Chansley, who stormed the Capitol in a Viking-style outfit, copped a plea deal with prosecutors and pled guilty to obstructing an official proceeding before Congress ... after initially being arrested for knowingly entering/remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, among other counts.

Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison ... but he got out early after about 16 months, reportedly for good behavior, and now he's back home in Arizona.

Former porn star-turned-influencer Mia Khalifa is catching heat online after voicing support for the people of Palestine on the heels of the deadly Hamas attacks that sparked the intensifying war with Israel.

Mia shared her controversial thoughts online over the weekend, as Israel declared a state of war after the Hamas attack ... saying a slew of things not in favor of the people of Israel.

She tweeted, "Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal," and, "I just wanna make sure there’s 4k footage of my people breaking down the walls of the open air prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and into so we have good options for the history books."

Mia, who is Lebanese, faced backlash for her comments against Israel, but she doubled down ... writing, "I’d say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I’m more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists."

She also claimed those who look at the incident and aren't siding with Palestinians are "on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time." Still, folks online are ripping into her stance.

As you know, the Hamas attack on Israel went down Saturday, with the death toll reportedly reaching 700 victims as of Monday amid the massive destruction.

Horrified concertgoers dove into an underbrush to try and save their lives at the Israeli festival where Hamas terrorists slaughtered 260 innocent people.

Two attendees -- a man and a woman -- recorded the harrowing images with their cell phones and posted the footage on social media.

The clips show the two hiding in bushes and whispering messages to family and friends in case they don't make it out alive.

In the background, you hear artillery fire and bombs exploding during Saturday's bloodbath at the Supernova Festival.

Survivors stayed hunkered down for up to 5 hours until Israeli soldiers came in to bring them to safety.

The Palestinian militant group crashed through barriers separating Israel from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip to carry out the sneak attack around dawn.

Gunmen rolled up in trucks to the venue where fans were listening to music all night and opened fire into the crowd, killing hundreds of people.

At the same time, Hamas launched surprise assaults in other parts of Israel, leaving more than 700 dead. Videos posted online show kidnappings and rockets blowing up buildings.

Los asistentes a un concierto tuvieron que esconderse entre los matorrales para salvar sus vidas en un festival israelí donde los terroristas de Hamás masacraron a 260 inocentes.

Dos asistentes —un hombre y una mujer— grabaron las angustiosas imágenes con sus teléfonos móviles y las publicaron en redes sociales.

En los clips se los ve a ambos escondidos entre los arbustos y susurrando mensajes a familiares y amigos en caso de no salir con vida.

De fondo, se oyen disparos de artillería y explosiones de bombas durante la devastación del sábado en el Festival Supernova.

Los supervivientes permanecieron agazapados hasta 5 horas hasta que los soldados israelíes entraron para ponerlos a salvo.

El grupo militante palestino atravesó las barreras que separan Israel de la Franja de Gaza, gobernada por Hamás, para llevar a cabo el ataque sorpresa hacia el amanecer.

Los hombres armados llegaron en camiones al lugar donde los aficionados habían estado escuchando música toda la noche y abrieron fuego contra la multitud, matando a cientos de personas.

Al mismo tiempo, Hamás lanzó ataques sorpresa en otras partes de Israel, dejando más de 700 muertos. Circulan videos en Internet que muestran secuestros y cohetes lanzados contra edificios.

President Biden's administration may or may not be shocked to hear Iran was supposedly instrumental in the lead-up to the attack on Israel ... the implications of which are dire.

The Wall Street Journal published a bombshell report Sunday, citing multiple sources from within Hamas, Hezbollah and even a European official with knowledge ... all of whom say Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps worked with Hamas in planning the ambush.

This alleged coordination dates back several weeks, apparently ... with talks going as far back as August and several reported meetings taking place in Beirut between all the parties. In addition to Iran being involved, WSJ reports that Lebanon's Hezbollah was in the mix.

The intention in all this, per WSJ, was two-pronged ... Iran apparently wanted to manufacture a "multi-front threat" against Israel -- this as the country grappled with its own internal politics, while disrupting U.S.-brokered peace talks between Saudi Arabia and Israel.

When asked directly about whether the U.S. had any knowledge of Iran's alleged involvement in directing the Hamas-led attack ... Sec. of State Anthony Blinken denied knowing anything about it, saying there was no evidence on their end that was, in fact, the case.

A separate U.S. official said the same thing to the WSJ ... but the outlet is insisting people overseas are saying differently. If what they're saying is true -- it's troubling on many fronts.

For one, it would be an indictment on U.S intelligence ... but it would also indicate that a broader conflict in the Middle East is looming -- with Israel having already gone on the record to say they would retaliate if it was found that Tehran sanctioned this Hamas move.

Kylie Jenner no pudo soportar el hate por apoyar a Israel. La celebridad publicó su apoyo hacia el país que acaba de soportar un ataque terrorista tipo 9/11, pero luego de que algunas personas la criticaron, ella borró el post.

Jenner compartió el post: "Ahora y siempre estamos con el pueblo de Israel, COMPARTE si estás con el pueblo de Israel mientras se enfrentan a una de las situaciones más aterradoras en muchos años. Miles de cohetes fueron disparados desde Gaza hacia los israelíes. Cientos de civiles han sido heridos y más de 300 asesinados. Terroristas se han infiltrado en Israel desde Gaza y hay informes no confirmados que soldados de las FDI han sido secuestrados y llevados a Gaza".

Algunos de los seguidores de Jenner comenzaron a poblar su Instagram con fotos de banderas palestinas e instaron a otros a dejar de seguirla. Al parecer, eso fue demasiado para Kylie, porque el post no aparecía por ninguna parte en su cuenta una hora más tarde.

Otras celebridades se mantienen firmes en su apoyo a Israel, incluyendo Sarah Silverman, Gal Gadot, Amy Schumer y Jamie Lee Curtis.

Ahora hay una guerra en toda regla, con Hezbolá disparando misiles contra Israel desde el Líbano.

Kylie Jenner apparently can't take the heat for supporting Israel, because she posted her support for the country that just endured a 9/11-type terrorist attack, but after some people criticized her she 86'd the post.

Jenner shared a post, "Now and always we stand with the people of Israel SHARE if you stand with the people of Israel as they face one of the most frightening situations in many years. Thousands of rockets were fired from Gaza towards Israelis, hundreds of civilians have been injured and more than 300 murdered, terrorists have infiltrated Israel from Gaza, and there are unconfirmed reports that IDF soldiers have been kidnapped and taken into Gaza."

Some of Jenner's followers started populating her Instagram with photos of Palestinian flags and urged others to unfollow her. Apparently, that was enough for Kylie, because the post was nowhere to be seen on her account an hour later.

Other celebs are standing strong in their support for Israel, including Sarah Silverman, Gal Gadot, Amy Schumer and Jamie Lee Curtis.

There is a full-blown war now, with Hezbollah firing missiles at Israel from Lebanon.

Israel ha reaccionado con rapidez al mayor ataque sufrido por el país en 50 años, bombardeando zonas de Gaza en represalia por el ataque de Hamás que, según los informes, ha causado ya más de 500 muertos israelíes.

Se ve a la gente corriendo para protegerse mientras los edificios se derrumban tras los bombardeos.

Israel ha declarado estado de guerra y está tomando represalias rápidamente por el ataque que escapó completamente a la inteligencia militar, tanto en Israel como en los EE.UU.

Este dramático video muestra a una reportera haciendo una toma en vivo en Gaza cuando cayó una bomba, los sonidos de la explosión la inquietan, pero ella resiste y continúa su reportaje.

En el momento del ataque, había un festival de música lleno de gente cerca de la Franja de Gaza y se ve el terror y el pánico cuando los terroristas lanzan cohetes y abren fuego contra la multitud

Algunos de los asistentes al festival fueron tomados como rehenes por hombres armados. Se llevan a una mujer en moto mientras grita: "¡No me matéis! No, no, no".

Decenas de personas han sido tomadas como rehenes y se encuentran ahora en algún lugar de la Franja de Gaza, lo que dificulta las represalias del ejército israelí. Es probable que algunos de los rehenes se encuentren en túneles que albergan a algunos de los terroristas, así como artillería militar y de otro tipo.

Al menos 1.500 personas resultaron heridas en el atentado del sábado y se espera que aumente tanto el número de muertos como el de heridos.

El Primer Ministro Benjamin Netanyahu, que dijo: "Estamos en guerra", prometió que Hamás "pagará un precio muy alto".

Oriente Medio está sufriendo terribles momentos de violencia... se desconoce si otros países que rodean a Israel se unirán al conflicto.

Israel has reacted swiftly to the biggest attack on the country in 50 years, bombing areas of Gaza in retaliation for the Hamas attack that now reportedly killed more than 500 Israelis.

You see people running for cover as buildings collapse after the bombings.

Israel has declared a state of war and is swiftly retaliating for the attack that completely escaped military intel -- both in Israel and the U.S.

This dramatic video shows a reporter doing a live shot in Gaza when a bomb hit ... the sounds from the explosion unnerve her but she toughs it out and continues her reporting.

At the time of the attack, there was a crowded music festival near the Gaza Strip and you see the terror and panic as terrorists launched rockets and opened fire into the crowd

Some of the people at the festival were taken hostage by gunmen. One woman is taken away on a motorcycle as she screams, "Don't kill me! No, no no!"

Dozens, and many more, have reportedly been taken hostage and are now somewhere in the Gaza Strip, making retaliation by the Israeli military problematic. It's likely some of the hostages are in tunnels which house some of the terrorists as well as military and other artillery.

At least 1,500 people were injured in Saturday's attack and both the death toll and toll of those injured is expected to climb.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said, "We are at war," vowed that Hamas "would pay a price it has never known."

The Middle East is a powder keg of violence ... it's unknown if other countries surrounding Israel will join the conflict.
